An Original Vintage Theatrical Unfolded Japanese "B3" or "Nakazuri" Movie Poster (14x20; measures 12 3/4" x 20 1/4" [32 x 51 cm]) (Learn More) Tsubaki Sanjuro (released in the U.S. in 1963 as "Akira Kurosawa's Sanjuro"), the 1962 Akira Kurosawa Japanese samurai martial arts action adventure thriller sequel ("A fast sword, keen perception used well to Slaughter His Enemies"; "Toho Production in TohoScope") starring Toshiro Mifune (in the title role as Sanjuro Tsubaki), Tatsuya Nakadai, Takashi Shimura, Reiko Dan, Keiju Kobayashi, Yuzo Kayama, and Akihiko Hirata. Note that this movie was a sort of sequel to Kurosawa's 1961 movie, "Yojimbo", with Mifune again playing a ronin, but with a different name (and again, he is a somewhat tarnished hero). Also note that this well regarded Akira Kurosawa Japanese movie surprisingly only received a limited first release in the U.S., and movie paper from that U.S. release is incredibly rare, for unknown reasons. It also apparently had a limited first release in all other English-speaking countries, again for unknown reasons. NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have only auctioned two examples of this very rare poster in all our years of auctioning! Note also that this is a "country of origin" poster for this Japanese movie! Also note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 12 3/4" x 20 1/4" [32 x 51 cm]. Condition: good. The poster was trimmed at bottom and there are paper remnants glued on back of the upper edge (see our image). There are some ink stains on back that slightly affect the front. There is a tear at lower right. After proper restoration the rare poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
